## About this tender

Locum Educational Psychologists are required to complete bespoke psychological assessments contributing to the Council's statutory duties in relation to Education, Health and Care Plans.

Professional application of bespoke psychological services to fulfil some aspect of the Council's statutory duties relating to EHCNAs towards decision making around issuing EHCPs.

Work involved: Consultation, observation, administering a range of psychological assessments (where feasible), interpretation and analysis of data, identifying and outlining objectives and recommendations. Liaising with setting, parents / carers and other services to co-ordinate and support where deemed helpful in the course of their reportage. Work commissioned is bespoke pieces of assessment.

Additional information: There is a national shortage of EPs. It is therefore incredibly difficult to locate and commission suitably qualified and experienced EPs and Locum EPs. The Council is implementing a number of parallel strategies that will reduce the level of Needs Assessments and external resource over this 5 year period.

Please note that there are numerous contracts to which the VEAT applied and this contract award applies so the closing date and award date is not strictly correct. The contracts will be for 2 years initially with options to extend up to 5 years and some of these contracts are already in place but the VEAT is being transparent about an overall significant modification to this provision.
